What is a Game Engine?

A game engine is a piece of software that aids in the development of games by usually providing an editor and frameworks to make programming a game easier. Think of it like a toolbox that has all the pieces you need to build the game of your dreams! This can include an audio engine, a physics engine, and much more. Basically, it allows us to get much more done without having to start from scratch each time we start a game!
